Advantages
Friendly staffComfortable seats and good equipmentIt was very cleanDisadvantages
First train delayedChangeover very stressfulOn the way, I had to change trains once. This change was a bit stressful, as my first train was 20 minutes late. But I still made the connecting train. Both trains were very clean and not very busy. The staff had been friendly and made connection announcements and helped with connections. Both trains had comfortable seats and were fully equipped. However, the second train had left and arrived on time, so I had not had any restrictions.
